Hi, thanks for replying. Anyway, after restarting moused without -t flag (I've restarted X as well) mouse wheel still doesn't work :-( I've played with 'xev' a bit. Mouse wheel down stands for button 9, and wheel up goes as button 8. Middle click is button 2. As I understand, wheel up/down should be 4/5 and not 8/9, yes?..
